Zac and Mia
A. J. Betts
- Reading
- Consider reading together or checking in afterwards, especially around the cancer and hospital themes. Let the young reader steer how much they want to discuss, and pause if questions arise.
- Themes
- Friendship across different worlds: Zac and Mia begin a friendship while in hospital, and their connection is presented as mattering in both hospital and real-world settings. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- Cancer and being in hospital are part of the story. These subjects may prompt questions or feelings; the extent of illness, treatment or emotional intensity is not clear.
